Basic Recipe:
1 can or aseptic pack of beans (aseptic pack will probably have less beans than the can)
3 cloves of garlic
Spices - your choice

Drain the beans, but keep the liquid handy. Peel the garlic. Put the beans, the garlic, and your spices into the food processor or Vita-Mix. Blend. Add some of the saved liquid until you reach the desired consistency. You might need to stop occasionally and shove everything down towards the blades. The Vita-Mix has a nice tamper to help with that, and you don't have to stop blending to use it.

Options:
Add onions
Squeeze a lemon into it
Add tahini - sparingly because it's a strong flavor
Use an avocado instead of the beans
Add an avocado to the beans

If this sits in your refrigerator for a day, the garlic flavor will be stronger.

On the other side of this equation can be chips, sliced cucumbers, baby carrots, celery, assorted raw vegetables, whatever you fancy.
